Guru: The Back-UPS RS models have both Boost and Trim as features of Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), where as the Back-UPS XS only has Boost. When the input voltage increases above the high transfer point of a Back-UPS XS model it will only go to battery.
Guru: Above are the two basic differences between a RS and XS model UPS.
Guru: Apart from those everything alike.

So if the RS is 167, and the XS is 147, which do I want the most. Considering my fear is that with the Air COnditioning unit turning on and off

Get the RS version. Do not plug the air conditioner into it. Make sure that the ac unit and your pc are h/u to 2 separate outlets. For $20 more you will have better protection.

yah the AC is not connected lol, but I know it is on the same Circuit. in the basement.

I will Only have my PC and the Monitor connected to the UPS and probobly won't even use any of the features, but I think that this 1500va is perfect for me =)

Thanx

on a 20 inch monitor you don't need the 285 OCFU

CJRhoades · 07-31-09

Buy them all. They're all worth every cent of your money (probably more) and you will regret it for the rest of your life if you don't.

Oh wait....

The size has nothing to do with performance.
It is still 1680x1050, even if it was somehow 40 inches, the fps would be the same. Only the resolution matters when it comes down to how the monitor affects the fps. Though monitors which only support low refresh rates won't gain from a gpu that can run games on full at a higher refresh rate.

I have also read about this recently, unfortunately I wasn't able to dig up the link.

Basically it said that most modular PSU's don't work as efficiently as non-modular PSU's because the plugs cause about as much resistance as two feet of wire. Maybe this is why most modular PSU's still have the motherboard and CPU power hard wired?
